1XLR Microphone input connector Connect
a microphone. When using condenser
microphones, turn on +48V switch on the rear
panel.
21/4” Hi-Z Input connector This Hi-Z circuit
that has been designed especially for
connecting a passive pickup system directly.
3Input Source This switch makes you select
input source between FRONT panel(MIC and
Hi-Z) or REAR panel(Balanced Line inputs). If
the switch at ‘OFF’ position, no signal input is
routed to ADC.
4Monitor This is a direct monitoring
functionality which allows you may monitor
properly according to mono or stereo sources.
L+R : The switch is set on this position when
you use mono source.
(e.g. MIC, Hi-Z).
L<>R : The switch is set on this position when
you use stereo source.(e.g. Line
inputs)
Off : Monitoring is off.
5Headphones – LINE OUT MUTE When you
connect a HP to this jack, Line output on the
rear panel will be muted.
6Headphones – LINE OUT UNMUTE When
you connect a HP to this jack, output signal
is still passed to the Line output on the rear
panel.
1Line Outputs (Balanced) Connect balanced
or unbalanced connectors on this jack.
A compensation circuit shifts output level
automatically according to connector type.
In case of 1/4” TRS jack, output works as full
balanced outputs. If 1/4” TS jack is connected,
output works as unbalanced and the level goes
to double, which allows you to get same level
as though balanced connection.
2Line Inputs (Balanced) Connect line level
sources to this jack. Before use, Calibrate
signals level properly with gain knobs on each
channels from smallest gain.
3MIDI Input and Output Standard MIDI In/
Out jacks.
4External Power Use it only in case of lack of
USB power.
5~6VDC/1A (SMPS) can be used.
2.0mm inner, 5.5mm outer jack should be
used.
5USB High Speed Connector Connect to USB
2.0 or USB3.0 port properly according to
Installation Guide above.
6+48V Phantom power switch When this
switch is On, the XLR jack features +48V
phantom power. Phantom power is used to
power condenser microphones. Check your
microphones specification.

1Level meters for Left and Right channels
This precise level meters allows you to
check input status. More than 0dBFS signal
will be distorted when recording to your
software.
Make sure than input level should not
excess to 0dBFS in digital recording field.
2LED Indicator - USB If CUE is connected
to a computer properly via USB cable,
the USB LED lights up.
3LED Indicator - +48V If +48V is supplied
by turning on the switch on the rear panel
of CUE, the +48 LED lights up.
4LED Indicator - STREAM STREAM LED lights up while establishing audio communication between
CUE and a computer.Do not unplug off the CUE from the computer while this indicator is on.
5Input Gain Controls
6Master Level
This knob is for controlling output level of Headphone and Line outputs simultaneously. You must
reduce the volume prior to change of settings to be free of unwanted noise.(e.g. USB attachment
and release,Phantom Power on and off, Sample Rate changing)

LATENCY
LATENCY is a small time delay which is needed
on your computer to work with the audio signals
that come in and go out. By reconfiguring this,
you may record with more shorter time delay.
But, shorter latency needs more processing
of your computer. If you experience problems
with click and pops, use more larger latency for
stable operation.
SAMPLE RATE
SET BY HOST APPLICATION – If this is checked,
Sample Rate of CUE is set automatically by host
application.(e.g. Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio
One)
If unchecked, Sample Rate may be set manually.
SOFTWARE PANEL SETTINGS
CAPTURE PROBE[Windows only]
‘CAPTURE PROBE’ is unique tool for capturing internal audio signals without signal loss.
Default is PHYSICAL INPUT only goes to Input of computer.
WDM PLAYBACK CAPTURE If you check this, all WDM (e.g. Windows Media Player, iTunes)
output stream is copied to input stream.
ASIO PLAYBACK CAPTURE If you check this, all AISO (e.g. Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One)
output stream is copied to input stream.

WARNING
When turning on and off +48V switch, large
noises may be occurred. It may damage
connected speakers or headphones as well
as especially your valuable ears.
Before you operate the +48V switch,
Set both switches of [INPUT SOURCE] and
[MONITOR] to [OFF].
Also decrease the gain by rotating the
knob.
A noise may be occurred when changing the Sample Rate, due to internal clock transition.
You must reduce Master Level to minimum before the change.
A logical input is mixed enabled audio resources. You can select all of them. In this case,
you should care that input level should not excess to 0dBFS in the recording application.
